Description
The management of the Hexcel Reinforcements factory at Avenières (38) has announced the dismissal of 42 employees out of a total workforce of 400. The factory, which is specialised in carbon fibre weaving, is idling. On site, the 400 employees all experience between 4 and 8 days of short-time working per month. A 'collective performance' agreement that was signed between the management and the trade unions validates a reduction in bonuses and the 13th month. But 42 employees refused to see this agreement applied with the sacrifices demanded. They have been dismissed.
80% of the production of the Hexcel Roussillon and Avenières sites is destined for the aeronautics market. Both sites belong to the American group Hexcel (5,200 employees).

The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
